Truth Be Told

For almost a week now, I've been having problems with my butt. I've gone to see a doctor already but I didn't think the meds were working for me. Started bleeding yesterday even. So, I visited the ER again and had it checked. Two docs checked me out. One of 'em was the doc (Dr. Prado) who saw my Butter bite first. He wanted me to get admitted that same night because of my case severity. I thought of doing sumpthin' about my problem right there and then.

Next thing I did was to call general surgeons accredited by EA. Tried 7 numbers but only one answered, the office of Dr. Gerard Panlilio. Went to see him but he wasn't around. Another doctor checked my condition and he told me, he & Dr. Panlilio would operate on me tomorrow at 7 am.

While my room was being prepared, I went to have dinner at Max's. My friends, Nikks, Ogz & Table joined me later. We (with Beng in tow) got my stuff back in the office and brought 'em in my hospital room. Room 537 was located near the nurse's station. The room was spacious enuff. I got the standard bed, another one for the guest, a cabinet, a phone, tv, and comfort room. The first thing I checked was the teevee. Good news, it supports MagicSing! Yay!

Took a shower (thank God the heater works). Had my first ECG session. Asked the therapist what I will feel when I'm being tested. She said, "Nada". Afterwards, I was sent to X-ray. I asked the therapist again if it's otay to have 2 x-rays in a year. I had one last September during our annual physical exam. She said it's ok.

When I got back, my friends excused themselves for dinner. A nurse came in and escorted me to the sitz bath room. It's a small tiled room where a tub throne was placed in the middle. Hot water was waiting for my butt ;oP I sat on that for 30 minoots. Then I was given this icky med to help soften my bowel.

A doctor interviewed me about my medical history. Yes, I had a BP problem when I had vertigo 2 years ago. I stopped drinking 4 months ago ('cause of my dog bite). I occasionally smoke. Got UTI and a bad back a month ago. I couldn't lie because my friends were back and listening to this ;oP

I bravely watched while this huge needle was being inserted into my left arm vein. That's for antibiotics, pain reliever and IV.

After my friends left, I slept. Got a big day tomorrow.
